ANALYSIS OF THE STATE OF STRESSES AND STRAINS IN THE CURVED STILT, USING TRIANGULAR FINITE ELEMENTS (CST)

Abstract

The paper presents a study on the analysis of the distribution of stresses and strains in the curved stilt of the plough-body, using the Finite Element Method. Modeling was performed with the help of triangular finite elements "CST" (Constant Strain Triangle), using a special program for this type of applications “CSTPL.EXE”, developed at University Politehnica of Bucharest, Department of Materials Strength.
